    Stainless steel metal business card with laser etching

    Rare Materials

    Real stainless steel, solid wood, and frosted plastic. Materials that most print shops can't handle. Feel the steel before you order metal business cards.

    Reference cards in every kit

    The hot foil swatch card

    One card, 40 stamped films — every foil we keep on the shelf, front face for the everyday metals and pigments, back face for the holographic and special-effect films that only read in motion. It goes in the envelope with every kit, so you can hold a foil against your own paper and your own light before you pick one.

    No screen can match metallised film. See the full foil library.

    The four-colour process card

    A 5 × 7 card printed both sides with our CMYK hue wheel. Every chip shows its own build, so you can see how 100/0/0/20 actually lands on paper instead of a screen.

    What's in the Studio Sample Kit: both sides of the 5 × 7 CMYK reference card, the hot foil swatch card, and a row of sample cards in cotton, black with a coral painted edge, kraft, ivory, grey and stainless steel.

    Branded teaching pieces

    A set of our own cards, each one built to demonstrate a single thing: how deep a letterpress bite reads on cotton, what a blind emboss does without ink, how edge paint sits against the stock, where raised spot UV catches the light.
